This release has a couple of snazzy things that folks won't need to see
very often:
The bare-metal bootstrapper works in about 1/3 the time it did before.
It now shifts the serial hardware into high gear to transmit the bulk of
the code in binary rather than via text on the screen. Much the same
way as Blurry's Apple Game Server.
There's a video of Speediboot(tm) in action here:

The OSX version of the sever has an "installer" whereby the user drags
the ADTPro folder to the Applications folder. Much the same way as lots
of OSX installers, like Mozilla.

1.2.1 - April 12, 2012
New functionality:
* Serial now bootstraps from bare metal in 1/3 the time it used
to take with Speediboot(tm) technology
* [Server] Mac OSX has a prettier "installer" via the DMG - just
drag/drop the ADTPro folder to Applications
Bug fixes:
* [Server] Improve serial error recovery for two different
scenarios: 1, by waiting (much) longer before timing out to
allow for problemtatic/errorful block reads, and 2, flushing
the serial port after things like checksum errors
